Start Thursday. One syllabus ready to copy, but I am so not in the teaching headspace. Fortunately, grad seminar doesn't start till the following Wednesday. Need to pull together materials for my 4th year review. Haven't finished what I was supposed to get done this summer. Crappety crap crap crap.

First day on campus today. First freshman seminar meeting later in the week. First real classes Monday. One syllabus not yet figured out. One scholarly article not yet finished. Aargh! OTOH, syllabi for three classes done and at the copy centre. Blackboard classes mostly done for the surveys -- and would be finished if Blackboard hadn't buggered the discussion boards when I copied them over.

I'm sort of on the quarter system, I think, because next week is when pre-term meetings start, and the first day of classes isn't until Sept. 5, and even then there are class retreats the like that week, so classes don't start for real until Monday, Sept. 10, which feels incredibly late. Of course, remind me of this when I'm not wrapping up until mid-June next spring!
